I think that the point they've made with gypsy curses is that they don't really care who get hurt. They just want vengeance on the person who hurt them.

However, I do think Angelus is punished by having a soul. Just as Angel feels guilt because he remembers all the bad things he did when his soul was gone, Angelus feels disgusted because he remembers all the good things he did when the soul was in residence. He's trapped in there, unable to stop himself from doing all of these goody goody things.

Like Angel saving the puppy. The Angelus side of him was totally disgusted by it after the fact, and one can only imagine he felt even worse at the time that it actually happened. But he couldn't stop it. And that's the demon side's punishment. When the soul is there, there's nothing he can do to stop himself from doing icky good. And he has to feel all of those icky, goody goody, human feelings, too.

Yeah, what I meant was that the gypsies set out to punish the one who hurt them, vengeance and all that as you said. But they did care who was the one who got hurt, they wanted it to be the person who killed the gypsy girl. Vengeance wouldn't work if they soulified any random vampire on the street. Angelus killed the gypsy girl; Angelus get soulified.
